Summary

Judgment is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The game is a legal thriller set in the Yakuza world of Kamurocho and follows private detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates a serial murder case. It stars Japanese actor Takuya Kimura and employs a fighting system similar to that of Yakuza 0 where players can change into different styles, namely crane-style which is more focused on fighting groups and tiger-style which is more focused on fighting individuals. Additionally, the game features an investigation mode where the player must find traces of the criminal.

Storyline

A lawyer pulls off a miracle, only to have the verdict cost him everything. Now, as a string of murders casts a shroud over the city and the law begins to fail, justice cannot afford to be blind.

The son of a murdered lawyer, Takayuki Yagami was raised on the streets of Kamurocho by a yakuza patriarch who paves the way for Yagami to follow in his real father's footsteps. Taking a job at the Genda Law Office, Yagami accepts a high-profile case: Proving Shinpei Okubo, a man suspected of murder, innocent.

Against all odds, Yagami succeeds and is hailed as a hero, but his prolific career is short-lived. Only months later, Okubo brutally murders his girlfriend, stabbing her over ten times with a kitchen knife before setting their apartment on fire.

Yagami becomes the lawyer who let a murderer walk - and everything he had worked for comes crashing down.

Three years later, Yagami has taken off his lawyer's badge to run a small detective agency in the red-light district of Kamurocho, scraping by on odd jobs and evidence collection.

But even a city as seedy as this is shaken by a string of serial murders, where the victims' bodies are discovered with their eyes gouged out. Yagami is drawn into the case by his old law firm, where he discovers that in order to bring this killer to light, he must seek the truth that slipped from his grasp three years ago. But can a man haunted by his failures prevail over his own past?

An excursion into the Japanese universe, with charismatic characters, an elaborate story, emotions and humor. One also forgives the game for the fact that the hero is not a member of the yakuza this time.

Amazing game. Nice graphics, solid framerate, many voiced dialogs and audio options (languages/ subtitles).Besides, the story isAmazing game. Nice graphics, solid framerate, many voiced dialogs and audio options (languages/ subtitles).Besides, the story is captivating, characters well build, all of the sidequests are scenarized (no Fedex) and the side game is just so thick. The main forces here are the story and the staging, it felt like a perfect blend of martial arts, detective and yakuza movie.This was my first entry in the Yakuza universe and that was not the least.

Il y a finalement que peu d’endroit où on peut rentrer, c’est dommageEn clair, il y a largement mieux à faire au niveau des enquêtes, scènes de crime à examiner, et faire de vrais procès où tous les choix que l’on fait, les indices que l’on trouve ont leur importance. Finalement Judgment est plus un jeu d’action qui se laisse vivre comme un « film interractif » où quoiqu’on fasse on arrivera à la bonne conclusion. S’ils avaient fait un titre avec des choix cruciaux, nous laisser la possibilité de faire de vrais enquêtes nous même (interroger les voisins, chercher des caméras, faire des interrogatoires, etc…), un peu à la manière de LA Noire avec une pointe de Rpg Occidental ça aurait été une tuerie.

The gameplay was fun, the characters were well written, and the story was one of the best in a game in a long time. The visuals on series x were also stunning and the frame rate fantastic. Cannot recommend enough. Stoked for the sequel!
